“So Samuel said: “Has The LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of The LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.” 1 Samuel 15:22.

If obedience is better than sacrifice, why have you turned against His Voice?

What can be so captivating that the powers and principalities of the air are allowed to strike you and draw you into the ways of the world?

Take up the whole armor of God so that you can stand against the wiles of the adversary.

Resist the devil and he will flee from you, for your brothers in The LORD are experiencing the same kinds of things.

Pray without ceasing.

Pray for one another so that you may be healed. Worship The LORD.

Listen for the Voice of The LORD.

He is the God of all flesh, and there is nothing too hard for The LORD.

Present yourself as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

He will receive you and rejoice over you with singing.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” Romans 12:1-3.
